Why Sketch Development Services?
We’re lifelong learners who keep asking the question, “Why?” and never accept “because that’s how it’s always been done” as an answer..
Inspiring and prioritizing curiosity
Our approach combines the joy of creativity with the rigor of disciplined execution. Whether developing software or designing organizational strategies, we help you implement methodologies that turn bold ideas into measurable success. With resilient processes and collaborative decision-making, you'll develop better people who deliver better software.
Company values
Sketch team members are fun, passionate and energetic. They’re not afraid to get on stage and willing to wing it when necessary because they’re fearless and wicked smart. They remain astute through their relentless quest for knowledge, ability to embrace change, and willingness to take risks. They are accountable and compassionate to the people and teams they serve.
OUR FOCUS
We primarily deliver consulting, cloud services, and software development services primarily oriented around Lean, DevOps, and agile product management domains, all while focusing on the human behind the computer.
OUR MISSION
Sketch is on a mission to transform complexity into clarity. Whether you need custom software, strategic consulting, or training, we want to deliver pragmatic solutions that allow your teams to work smarter and faster.
OUR VISION
​We imagine a future where organizations turn uncertainty into a creative force instead of something to be feared. Change becomes a good thing, innovation becomes routine, and the focus shifts from activity to outcomes.
Where we came from
Sketch Development Services began in 2015 when founder John Krewson had a realization: That everything he knew about leading software development projects came not from corporate trainings or his MBA, but from his time in entertainment—particularly, from sketch comedy.
​
Things like the power of self-organized teams of engaged and passionate individuals. The continuous delivery of value. Getting feedback, and giving good feedback in return. John realized that these were the same values behind the agile approach to software development—but seeing them in action, in both environments, gave him a deeper appreciation for how to apply them in the real world.
​
And so from the beginning, Sketch has been committed to “walking the walk” by not only providing coaching and training for teams, but actually using the very same practices they were recommending to build better software for their development clients.
​
Since those humble beginnings in the Krewsons’ spare room, the company has (responsibly, thoughtfully) grown to a team of 35 clever and talented people and moved into its current location (in 2023) in Webster Groves, MO (just outside of St. Louis).
